Video style samples
A video sample can convey camera movement, cutting rhythm, light and color. It can also carry its people, place and props into the output. A “style sample” role states your intention; it does not guarantee that a model separates style from content.
Two ways to use a sample
Section titled “Two ways to use a sample”Analyze the clip and use words describing its filming choices in Prompt for the model. In the sample-aspects controls, “only how it is filmed” borrows camera/editing and light/colour, while the idea, action, place and sound remain your own. The brief and Elements have priority. This authoring path does not require feeding the clip itself into Video.
Alternatively, attach a clip as a style-sample Element only when the chosen video mode accepts that input. Review the model and mode’s style-reference note. A source clip in edit mode is the clip being changed, not merely a filming example.
What the recorded tests showed
Section titled “What the recorded tests showed”These are individual observations, not a ranking or repeatability promise:
| Model and tested configuration | Date | Observed outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Seedance 2.0 Fast and Full, reference mode | 4 October 2026 | Light and cutting rhythm transferred without the sample’s people or location; the opening still followed the location image closely. |
| Seedance 2.0 Draft, reference mode | 4 October 2026 | Partial transfer; less camera adherence and problems with the people’s appearance. |
| Seedance 2.5, reference mode | 4 October 2026 | Rhythm and light transferred, exact camera movement did not. Other prompt variants imported sample landscape. |
| Gemini Omni Flash v1.1, reference mode with style clip | 5 October 2026 | Warmth and backlight transferred; the overhead and low camera movements did not reproduce exactly. |
| Wan Base, reference mode | 4 October 2026 | The final shot imported people and landscape from the sample. Prime was not tested in this case. |
| Kling, tested first-frame and reference requests | 4 October 2026 | The multi-person, multi-shot sample was refused at input. A different single-character clip is not covered by this result. |
Other combinations remain untested unless their model page cites a corresponding observation. Missing evidence is not proof of unsupported input. A successful experiment made outside the shipped workflow is not a connected Studio feature.
Example and verification
Section titled “Example and verification”For a greenhouse scene, borrow a wide opening, a low side tracking shot and warm backlight from a sample while keeping your gardener and greenhouse. Inspect the prepared text for sample-specific people, landmarks and props. After rendering, compare camera, rhythm and light separately from subject identity. If the sample’s landscape appears, try an explicit words-only filming description and review again.

Russian alias: ролик-образец стиля. See the model–technique applicability matrix for connected operations, dated outcomes and configurations that remain untested.
